The outfit was absolutely the cutest thing she ever saw! Rarely was the young troll into fashion expect for two things, sturdy and proper explorer's gear, and hats. Just like Troll Indiana Jones wore, those awesome fedoras that never quite fitted her horns properly.
But this time? This time? It sat on her head, cute as a button, with the dramatic rams head spirals poking out jauntily. It was adorable. It was cute!
She could barely be pulled away from the mirror due to that hat, but Ishtar had managed. Aradia was so delighted with the hat that she didn't notice her wings were gone as well as her soft and satiny tunic. In replacement she wore a quarter sleeve safari t-shirt, long fitting khaki pants, a backpack, and a whip. Not that froo-froo pink leather whip but a sturdy and usable whip to swing around on!
Needless to say, Aradia was in heaven as she followed her friend to the site.
Ishtar was similarly kitted out. Contrary to her usual almost-not-there skirt and top, she was now dressed in practical khaki pants (close-fitting - there were likely going to be some tight squeezes inside the site, and she didn't want to deal with torn pants on top of everything else) and a matching tank top. Normally she'd have gone with a T-shirt, but...actually, that was a lie. Tank top was just fine by her
( ... )
Aradia had fussed at the outfit Ishtar wore because while Fashion is Stupid, Flarp is not. It was serious business and the fact the outfit looked nothing like what archeologist would wear was made clear.
Of course, Aradia had a few things too. A simple handgun, spare ammo, ratios and water, glow sticks, a Swiss army knife, her walkie-talkie, and graphing paper. All in a day’s work and perfectly suited for what was about to go on.
She paused in mid step, crouching next to Ishtar for a moment to study the three men and the woman. She took some comfort there was a woman but the body armor would be… a problem.
Aradia glanced at the golden eyed woman, Let’s talk for now.
Nodding, Ishtar slowly crept out, hands in the air. Four assault rifles swung as one to track her, pausing when she kept up her gesture of parley. She stayed where she was, her expression, for once, completely serious.
"...Yeah?" one of the guards called out, still aiming, but with finger off the trigger.
"We want to pass. Will you let us?"
"No one gets in unless the boss says yes. Heh...he don't say yes."
A pause, then the woman spoke up, her voice hard-edged.
"Anyone with you?"
"...One."
Noting the implication of the guard's rifle gesturing, she turned her head and called behind her. "Aradia, let's talk."
